This “smart” app is so cheery and full of positive reinforcement and encouragement, kids will view tracing as a game. They have a choice of scratching out letters on a frosty window or munching through alphabet imprinted leaves to get to a shiny red apple. Parents also get choices as they can set the app to follow ABC order or present letters developmentally based on starting point and/or type and difficulty of strokes.

After completing a series of letters kids earn a reward which may be helping the caterpillar turn into beautifully decorated butterfly or making a snowflake from jewel-like ice crystals. What little ones won't realize is even these mini-games are building their motor skills and helping develop the control they will need to write.

• Dedicated EASY mode for beginners and special needs kids that uses maximum prompts for each of 3 tries

• Varied levels of difficulty in which prompting gradually decreases each time through with emphasis first given to learning the proper starting point; then staying within the lines; and finally memorizing the order and direction of all segments and making a complete stroke without the finger leaving the screen

• Errorless learning to prevent reversal and misshapen letters

• Replay the video of your child tracing letters. In the Parent's Corner. look at the stats tab within each student to track speed of tracing and letter formation with 3 error types marked (starting points, finger-up and off the line).
